[Elecraft] K3: Elecraft Utility and second receiver

I installed the second receiver recently, and am totally addicted to the diversity reception. Using my R5 vertical as the second antenna, with my horizontal beam for the main. The R5 is of course useless as a transmit antenna on 40, but it picks up enough signal for receive (no tuner on it). Haven't put any extra roofing filters in the second receiver, and with the lower received signal strength on the vertical I doubt that I will need to. 

Now to my question: The Utility happily loaded the DSP firmware into the second receiver, but I didn't see how to set up the roofing filter configuration from the Utility, so I did it using the radio's menus. Surely I am missing something in the Utility? (Running the latest Utility and the latest firmware.)
